Initial thoughts:

Some solid tunes but not two year delay solid

Production on the intro is fire

Jay doesn't really do much for lotta 42, wish they kept tha switch up instead

I think listening to those leaks ruined my perception lotta 42, intoxicated, not around etc. Regretting that decision

Why tf is future on two songs

The songs where its just him rapping are the best but they are kinda boring

pretty underwhelmed

Bunch of cool songs that I'm sure I will enjoy more overtime

Off the first listen I don't really get the Certified Lover Boy concept

Did he just pick that title because it sounds cool?

Happy that he spent more time experimenting with the production , transitions, etc but some of the ideas that I'm sure he intended to be impressive kinda fall flat or end up being dead ends that lead nowhere

Gotta dissect the verses but none of them blew me away on the first pass like LPF, BBKF, OYF, etc

Don't know if he sounds exhausted with the burden of being on top or if I'm just exhausted listening to this s*** at 3am

looking at the Preggo Emojis got me queezy and are definitely not helping me enjoy this album more. Can't believe his is going to be the cover. FOREVER. Smfh

Donda was disappointing for me and I thought CLB would easily top it but honestly this feels just as disappointing if not more so because Drake is still in his prime while Ye is in his 40's and he's kinda supposed to be washed by this point

Been literally anticipating this for two years, f***

Overall this seemed really unfocused and super long, wonder what happened to him wanting to do something more concise

Fully expect the critics to drag this

CMIYGL, KDII, HWH8, and even The Off Season all were better off the first listen for me.

OP Need to chill with the AOTY talk in the thread title. CMIYGL still my aoty f*** what yall stans talking bout

Good night folks

Not even trying to sound like Anti PC but if ppl got a problem because you’re sampling something then I’m on the wrong side of history because that’s f***ing stupid
